    YOU NEED a boat
    I know nothing about boats. But I will keep researching for a year, and I will figure it out.
    When its all said and done, I won't be able to afford fuel for the boat. But I will have a FUCKING BOAT!!! HAHAHA 
    My ol man told me the happiest days a boat owner has is when he buys it and when he sells it!
    Stick to stringbeans and comfy chairs!!!

    I’m convinced they make boat engines shitty on purpose cause they know owners are morons… sorry I love boating, not owning 🤣

    it’s crazy… my buddy has Yamaha 350s x3…. Every season at least one needs a whole new Upper manifold replaced… minimum $10,000

    fuck that 

    plus we get stranded at once a season…

    sure that aint operator error?  or the mechanic isnt upgrading whatever he owns when you friend shows up?

    I cited a SPECIFIC engine that has lots to read up on, its a problem they've had through generations of this engine...They have even replaced 2 of them , even out of warranty due to lawsuits etc......guess what, the replaced powerhead craps out within a year or two....Mercury has a few that have serious issues/ we go hard in the ocean, but these are notorious piles of shit

    A boat is 100% an expense. Storing it, maintaining it, repairing it. Money pit. Just hire a charter. Well worth it to walk away. If being a captain is your hobby then go for it. I get the tinkering with all the bits and pieces. Too much work for me.

    This week has been kind of hectic.
    ITS CRUNCH TIME!!!!
    Kathy is now going to fly down there solo next week. Her car will be delivered to her, all our new furniture will be delivered to her. I get to stay home and get the last of our belongings gathered together and finish packing the pod. We have some friends taking some dressers but didn't find any takers for the sectional and bed. Oh well. She will fly back home after taking care of car and furniture. 
    Then if all goes well, we both head down, with the cats on the 27th. Closing the 29th but we don't need to be there for the closing.

    So, its looks to be $425-$450 a year to get both NFL and MLB TV networks for a year.
    I will get my Cubs and Bears.

    Or fuck it.
    Fuck the Cubs
    Fuck the Bears

    I don't need to spend a penny to watch those fucking clowns. Hahaha

    Ill spend the $450 on Mickey bars and Dole whips.

    There have been times in my life where I have gone YEARS without watching either team. Then I always come back. But at this point in my life? I think I can go the rest of my life without giving a shit. Like at all. Haha

    We will see.

    All those years of Cubs & Bears frustration are surely the perfect prerequisite to becoming a Marlins fan.
